How to roll a paper bead. m4v

When the founder of Mzuribeads, Kirstie MacLean, first tried to market the product in the UK, she was told that there was no market for beads which cannot be mass produced. Mzuribeads took this as a compliment, and went on the search for customers who want a unique bead, one which cannot be replicated.

The beads are made by cutting triangular strips from recycled magazines and posters. Each strip is rolled one by one around a needle and held in place with a dab of glue. Once the beads rolled they are strung up, varnished and left to dry for 3-5 days. They are then finished and left with a glossy and water resistant finish.
